    Glad curtains are coming along. Just been watching a programme about a railway trip from Bergen to Oslo (to remind us of holidays that we hope will resume eventually) it reminded me of the Harry Hole books by Jo  Nesbo which I like though they are a bit gritty. Don't know if you have read them as you seem to have similar Scandi tastes to me

    @Tescodealqueen & @ladyholly - Yes, I do like Scandi-crime. Re Jo Nesbo's books, I've only read 'Headhunter' & 'The Snowman'. I read quite widely apart from the fantasy genre which I can't get on with at all.

    @Tescodealqueen Yes, I can see a theme there, m'dear. I would add DI Marnie Rowe (series by Sarah Hilary, which I'm working my way through) & Malin Fors from Mons Kallentoft's Swedish crime series. I really like both of these interesting characters.

    @marionmgcars - Nice to hear from you. Do de-lurk occasionally, as I enjoy reading everybody's contributions. Yes, health over wealth for me too. I am a good way off state pension age, & Mr F another 5 years behind me, but we are still thinking ahead, saving, staying sensible & starting to plan.
